How to Use Natural Facial Cleanser Recipes

Everyone should clean their face at least once a day
- just before bedtime is ideal. The quiet ritual of cleansing, toning
and moisturizing
can help settle your mind for rest, and the therapeutic properties of
the essential oils not only support your skin but also soothe your
nerves and calm your mind.

Generally speaking, you shouldn't need to cleanse again in the morning. Over-washing can strip
away the skin's natural, protective oils, which will cause dryness.
The exception to this is if you have extremely oily skin or are
struggling with acne - you may find that washing morning and night helps
reduce breakouts.

Customize Recipes for Your Skin Type

Choose one (or more!) of the facial cleanser recipes most suitable for
your skin type. Try them out and see how your skin responds.
Don't be afraid to play around with the essential oils
based on what your gut tells you would work best. (Just remember to
maintain the correct percentage of essential oils to other ingredients.)

One critical point: your skin takes 3 to 4 weeks to renew itself, so don't give up after a week or two - wait a month before trying something new.

Where to Buy Homemade Face Cleanser Ingredients

There's so much more to essential oils than meets the eye. Their
molecules are so tiny that they absorb deep into your body in a matter
of moments.

If the essential oil you buy is filled with additives (to "stretch"
the scent) and fragrance boosters, those potentially harmful ingredients
are also absorbed straight into your body. Not ideal!

For instance, my mom and I get instant headaches with most kinds of
lavender oil. That's because of the extra "lavender" scent that's added
to make it smell stronger. But when it's pure lavender - nothing else -
no headaches.

I've used many brands over the last 12 years or so and what I know
for sure is, you get what you pay for. So I recommend buying the highest
quality essential oils you can afford.

Here's how I break it out...

doTerra for highest quality.
You can shop retail by clicking the Shop button at the top. Or click
Join & Save to become a wholesale customer and get 25% discount.

Mountain Rose for quality on a budget.
Plus they have all the other ingredients you'll need for your
aromatherapy recipes, like hydrosols and carrier oils. See right-hand side for quick links!

Amazon for variety and selection.
Please remember to buy the best oils you can afford - there's a lot of
cheap oils in the marketplace, and they just won't give you the
experience you're looking for.
